Well, it was another Pogo screw up anyway because on the homepage it said Reach Fourth Goal 6 times, but in the room when showing progress it said You've Reached Fourth Goal x/15 times. I was only at 5/15, then when I got the 6th one it showed Badge Completed.
i had to win it 15 times to get the badge
I noticed some other people saying theirs said 6. My homepage said 15 and progress showed 15 also. Some people were saying they were only getting credit for every other game too.
I was on 11/15 when low and behold "badge completed". Lookin good pogo...keep up the good work lol beer11.gif

Nope, you're right. No badge. I did earn the limited edition Christmas badge, but the weekly challenge badge is not there.
This in the non-Help section of Pogo:
Question
I am confused about the Express Yourself Badge for Lottso! Express. Where can I find clarification?
Answer
The Express Yourself Badge requires you to reach the 4th goal 6 times in one week. However, the in-game chat is incorrectly showing a requirement of 15.
We currently do not have information regarding which requirements are actually working. You might see your badge as completed after reaching the 6 times requirement, but the badge might not be actually appearing in your badge album.
Our developers are aware of this issue and should have a fix soon. Please stay tuned for more information regarding this issue by clicking on the Notify Me button at the bottom of the screen. Once we have more information, you will receive an update via e-mail.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
So, I would recommend waiting until they fix this before working on the challenge as you may end up having to do it again anyway.
Same here Christmas badge but no lottso express badge. swear2.gif
The room I was in no one was getting credit

Good to know Pogo is on top of things.
OK, now instead of saying Completed, the home page shows 11/15. Is it safe to assume............................
Now instead of saying you have to reach the fourth goal it says the second so is it right or not??

Maybe they lowered it because of their stupidity? The ineptness? Their... well, you get the idea.
All I know is that I'm getting credit and some people in the rooms are not.
Finished it on second goal, says complete and badge is in there this time. cheesy.gif
it was changed to 2nd goal 15 times, so all you have to do is make it to the 2nd goal and hit new game, takes all of 5 mins...lol

whatever...and this is yet another excuse that I got in the email:
"Answer
Express Yourself Badge 12/08/09
There were some technical difficulties with the Express Yourself badge. First of all, we would like to thank all of you for your patience while we sorted the issue.
Originally, the requirements of the Express Yourself badge were to reach the 4th Goal 15 times. During testing, we found that reaching the 4th Goal 15 times might be too hard or time consuming for some players.
In order to make the challenge more accessible, the badge requirements were lowered to reach the 4th Goal 6 times. However, our team faced some unforeseen technical difficulties making the change, which created some confusion the morning of the badge release.
The issue has been fixed now, and the challenge has been adjusted in a way to make it more accessible, while providing a good amount of game play.
The challenge has been changed to reach the 2nd Goal 15 times.
Keep in mind that to reach the 2nd Goal, you need to accumulate enough points to move on to the next goal. In other words, your progress bar must be full before you can reach the 2nd Goal.
We apologize for the confusion and sincerely hope you enjoy the challenge."

Thank you for contacting Pogo.com Customer Support.
There were some technical difficulties with the "Express Yourself badge" in Lottso Express. The original requirements to win the badge was to reach the 4th goal 6 times. However, considering that it may be too hard or time consuming for some players, the criteria was changed to "reach the 4th Goal 6 times" but the development team faced some technical difficulties making the change.
The technical problems are all fixed now and to make the badge more accessible, the criteria is now changed to "reach the 2nd Goal 15 times this week". If you are still facing issues with this challenge criteria then I would recommend you to try yourself during this week. I hope you will win the badge.
If there is anything else we can help you with please let us know.

So not only was it changed to what it was originally, I guess we are supposed to get technical and what....hack into their programs and see if we can do whatever it is they can't do? Seriously, that's the worst message I think I've ever seen from POGO. You might as well have written it in Klingon and I might have understood it better. Oh wait! I think I understand! They want us to try playing it ourselves instead of letting Uncle Otto do it for us. Silly Pogo!
